Next Session: TBD
Ancient Practice. Shared Space.
For thousands of years, women have gathered to steam together — in Southeast Asia, Central America, across the African continent, passed between mothers and daughters and aunties as both medicine and rite.
You will experience a guided herbal pelvic steam while I hold space with meditation and live sound. We move through the history and wisdom of the practice, honor the body through optional journaling and sharing, and close with song. The atmosphere is unhurried, grounded, and warm.
If you are new to steaming, this is a beautiful place to begin. If you already have a practice, the circle deepens it.
The Arc of the Ceremony
Learn — We open with the ancestral history and benefits of pelvic steaming: what it is, where it comes from, and what it can offer your body at any stage of life.
Steam — You settle in and receive a 10-minute guided herbal steam while I hold space with meditation and sound. The herbs are chosen for their gentle, nourishing properties and prepared fresh.
Honor Your Body — Pelvic steaming supports cycle regulation, fertility, menopause ease, fibroid and cyst reduction, tissue strengthening, and more.
Reflect — Space for journaling and optional sharing follows. There is no pressure to speak; witnessing other women in this practice is its own kind of medicine.
Close — We gather the experience together with song and a moment of quiet before returning to the day.
Note: Pelvic steaming is contraindicated during active pregnancy and menstruation. You are warmly welcome to join the meditation and circle without steaming if either applies.

Take the Practice Home
The ceremony can be a beginning. For those who want to continue steaming between gatherings, I handcraft medicinal herbal steam blends from my apothecary, made from plants I know and trust.
The cedar pine Pelvic Steam Sauna Box, handcrafted by my father, is also available for your home practice.
"Vivian’s Pelvic Steam Ceremony was a beautiful, soul-nourishing experience. Between the educational focus on herbs, the meditative sound of the gong, and the deep sense of stillness, it was exactly what my spirit needed. Vivian holds space with such warmth and care, ensuring a private, comfortable, and pressure-free environment. I walked away feeling so connected to my own womb power and inspired by the stories shared among women"- Shauna D, Portland, ME
